'There's never been a more honest or raw memoir ... and it may just save lives' Daily Mail'Funny, fascinating, compelling ... also a wonderful read for fans of Friends' The TimesThe beloved star of Friends takes us behind the scenes of the hit sitcom and his struggles with addiction in this candid, funny, and revelatory memoir that delivers a powerful message of hope and persistence.'Hi, my name is Matthew, although you may know me by another name. My friends call me Matty. And I should be dead.'So begins the riveting story of acclaimed actor Matthew Perry, taking us along on his journey from childhood ambition to fame to addiction and recovery in the aftermath of a life-threatening health scare. Before the frequent hospital visits and stints in rehab, there was five-year-old Matthew, who travelled from Montreal to Los Angeles, shuffling between his separated parents; fourteen-year-old Matthew, who was a nationally ranked tennis star in Canada; twenty-four-year-old Matthew, who nabbed a coveted role as a lead cast member on the talked-about pilot then called Friends Like Us. . . and so much more.In an extraordinary story that only he could tell - and in the heartfelt, hilarious, and warmly familiar way only he could tell it - Matthew Perry lays bare the fractured family that raised him (and also left him to his own devices), the desire for recognition that drove him to fame, and the void inside him that could not be filled even by his greatest dreams coming true. But he also details the peace he's found in sobriety and how he feels about the ubiquity of Friends, sharing stories about his castmates and other stars he met along the way. Frank, self-aware, and with his trademark humour, Perry vividly depicts his lifelong battle with addiction and what fuelled it despite seemingly having it all.Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing is an unforgettable memoir that is both intimate and eye-opening - as well as a hand extended to anyone struggling with sobriety. Unflinchingly honest, moving, and uproariously funny, this is the book fans have been waiting for.'An unflinching and often harrowing must-read for 90s pop culture fans' Guardian'Written with Chandler's trademark sarcasm and self-deprecation' Telegraph'A hopeful read ... I started to think of [it] not as a celebrity memoir about addiction, but as an addiction memoir written by a man who understands his own history through the prism of showbiz' Independent

'There is nothing stronger than a broken woman who has rebuilt herself.' Hannah Gadsby, NanetteHannah Gadsby's unique stand-up special Nanette was a viral success that left audiences captivated by her blistering honesty and her ability to create both tension and laughter in a single moment. But while her worldwide fame might have looked like an overnight sensation, her path from open mic to the global stage was hard-fought and anything but linear. Ten Steps to Nanette traces Gadsby's growth as a queer person from Tasmania - where homosexuality was illegal until 1997 - to her ever-evolving relationship with comedy, to her struggle with late-in-life diagnoses of autism and ADHD, and finally to the backbone of Nanette - the renouncement of self-deprecation, the rejection of misogyny and the moral significance of truth-telling. Equal parts harrowing and hilarious, Ten Steps to Nanette continues Gadsby's tradition of confounding expectations and norms, properly introducing us to one of the most explosive, formative voices of our time.

Det gælder om at løbe mellem regndråberne, sagde en gammel ven til forfatteren Hanne Marie Svendsen. Hun havde lige mistet sin mand. De to havde været gift i over 60 år. Romanen Mellem regndråber berører sorg, tab, at skulle indstille sig på det uafvendelige, prøve at finde vej til et nyt liv og opdage, at også humor kan være en overlevelsesstrategi. Det er de temaer, teksten kredser om, mens den flettes sammen af erindringer, drømme, tanker om sprog og tid, små situationer fra hverdagslivet, samtaler med levende og døde – og besøg i columbariet, hvor urnen nu står i sin niche.

I 1944 bidrog Martin A. Hansen til den illegale antologi Der brænder en Ild, hvori han begrundede nødvendigheden af stikkerlikvideringer, og derefter skrev han regelmæssigt til det ligeledes illegale blad Folk og Frihed og overtog, efter at bladets redaktører var blevet arresteret, arbejdet med både at redigere og selv skrive en stor del af stoffet. Som modstandsmand under besættelsen erfarede Martin A. Hansen et enestående fællesskab båret af ansvar og tillid. Denne erfaring blev for Martin A. Hansen et vidnesbyrd om, at fællesskab er muligt – også i moderne tid, og som sådan, mente han, måtte den føres videre i reorganiseringen af samfundet efter besættelsen. Det viste sig dog hurtigt, at den officielle politiske linje gjorde forventningerne til skamme, hvilket naturligt førte til skuffelse for Martin A. Hansen, men aldrig til opgivelse. For Folkets Frihed er opdelt i to dele. Første del indeholder bidrag fra bl.a. Folk og Frihed, Der brænder en Ild, Information, Berlingske Aftenavis og Heretica. Anden del af For Folkets Frihed indeholder artikler af litterater, historikere og teologer, bl.a. David Bugge, Per Stig Møller og Anders Thyrring Andersen, der i deres bidrag forholder sig til besættelsen og Martin A. Hansens diskussion af hovedtemaer som samarbejdspolitikken, kampen for demokratiet, stikkerlikvidering, modstandsbevægelsens rolle i efterkrigstidens Danmark, retsopgørets fallit m.m.

Efter fem år som Frankrigs ambassadør i Danmark er François Zimeray kommet til at holde meget af vores flade land, af danskerne og af danske værdier. »Danmark er prototypen på et samfund i balance, som Frankrig og hele verden kan lære af. I bør derfor promovere jeres værdier og udbrede dansk kultur, siger Zimeray og fremhæver bl.a. lighed mellem kvinder og mænd, respekt for børn, en afslappet livsform og evnen til at kunne samarbejde og blive enige. Med den fremmedes øjne fortæller Zimeray i samtalebogen Med franske øjne til journalist og forfatter Karin Mørch om sit syn på danskerne, som han mener er langt mere europæiske, end vi er bevidst om, og han beskriver nogle forskelle og ligheder mellem Danmark og Frankrig. Han kaster desuden sit blik på verden uden for Europa, på det, der forener os, og det, der adskiller os historisk, kulturelt og politisk. Zimeray overlevede angrebet mod Krudttønden i februar 2015. Det ændrede hans liv, og i bogen fortæller han også om, hvad der står tilbage tre år efter, om vreden, om truslen mod vores europæiske værdier og om det vigtige i at nævne fjenden ved navn. Karin Mørch er også forfatter til Gabriels Gæstebud – portræt af en filmmager (Gyldendal, 2008) og Kan jeg dø af det, mor? (People’sPress, 2011).

Sunday Times Sports Book of the YearShortlisted for the William Hill Sports Book of the Year AwardWinner - Best New Writer at the British Sports Book AwardsAfter years of watching Kenyan athletes win the world's biggest races, from the Olympics to big city marathons, Runner's World contributor Adharanand Finn set out to discover just what it was that made them so fast - and to see if he could keep up. Packing up his family (and his running shoes), he moved from Devon to the small town of Iten, in Kenya, home to hundreds of the country's best athletes. Once there he laced up his shoes and ventured out onto the dirt tracks, running side by side with Olympic champions, young hopefuls and barefoot schoolchildren. He ate their food, slept in their training camps, interviewed their coaches, and his children went to their schools. And at the end of it all, there was his dream, to join the best of the Kenyan athletes in his first marathon, an epic race through lion country across the Kenyan plains.
